Food Transportation
Innovations in packaging, fruit and vegetable coatings
& controlled ripening reduce deterioration and extend
the reach of perishable products. (e.g. banana grown
in Central America is sold around the world).
Food industry can take advantage of global
seasonable variations (e.g. during winter the southern
hemisphere can export fruits/vegetables to the
northern hemisphere) & wage patterns.
Source loading directly into a reefer extends the shelf
life of product.
Integrity of food cold chain is critical for food safety
